“My Reverie collection is all about being pleasantly lost in your thoughts. In a world of restrictions, it’s a moment you can lose yourself in a daydream and immerse yourself in a world of creativity and fantasy.”

LONDON (UK) – SILAS TSANG, an hairdresser from Ontario has won the award for INTERNATIONAL COLLECTION of THE YEAR 2020 at HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards by HJ.
SILAS TSANG, from BLUSHES hair salon in Ottowa, fought off strong competition and stood out from a star-studded line up of the best-known stylists to gain the top spot in this fiercely contended category.
Judged twice by a panel of hairdressing legends and British Hairdressing Awards Hall of Fame members, Silas claimed the status of best international collection after showcasing phenomenal original hair work which demonstrated not only technical skill, but creative vision and comprehension of current trends.
HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards celebrate the people producing the very best hairdressing work across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, plus one international award. For the first time in its 36 year history, the ‘Oscars’ of the hair world could not be held in person at the Grosvenor House, A JW Marriott Hotel, and instead went live and virtual on Monday 30th November – giving an opportunity to celebrate the success and talent within the industry and share the prestige and excitement of the event to an even wider audience.
A huge congratulations to Silas. This win is a phenomenal achievement and career highlight, particularly after the difficulties faced by the industry this year. Silas’ hair work demonstrated unrivalled vision, skill and creativity, gaining him recognition as one of the best in the business.
Jayne Lewis-Orr, HJ’s Executive Director
This year’s British Hairdressing Awards will certainly go down in history as one of the most challenging but rewarding events we’ve ever organised. The fighting spirit of the hair community shone through, despite not being together in person, and the reception from our virtual viewers was truly uplifting. I’m so pleased we had this opportunity to share the achievements of these truly outstanding stylists with all their supporters near and far.
The Fellowship for British Hairdressing’s Luncheon & Awards was held at the Intercontinental Hotel on Park Lane and recognises the best of British hairdressers, who work tirelessly for the industry both creatively and in business.
Amongst a host of awards presented by President Ken Picton and Chancellor Ashleigh Hodges, was the ultimate accolade, Fellowship Hairdresser of the Year.
Sally, owner of Brooks & Brooks salon in Holborn, London, with Jamie Brooks, has won some 60 awards with her creative team including London Hairdresser of the Year three times and British Hairdresser of the Year 2017 and 2018. Sally collected her award to raptuous applause from the audience who included her friend and mentor, Trevor Sorbie.
“This is such a surprise but I’m delighted to be named Fellowship Hairdresser of the Year. It’s been an incredibly busy year which has included producing and directing my documentary, The Journey to My Destination. I have a lot of things planned for the industry in 2020 so watch this space!”
